      <title>CVE-2023-53620 — md: fix soft lockup in status_resync</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-53620</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;md: fix soft lockup in status_resync&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;status_resync() will calculate &amp;#39;curr_resync - recovery_active&amp;#39; to show
user a progress bar like following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[============&amp;gt;........]  resync = 61.4%&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#39;curr_resync&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;recovery_active&amp;#39; is updated in md_do_sync(), and
status_resync() can read them concurrently, hence it&amp;#39;s possible that
&amp;#39;curr_resync - recovery_active&amp;#39; can overflow to a huge number. In this
case status_resync() will be stuck in the loop to print a large amount
of &amp;#39;=&amp;#39;, which will end up soft lockup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix the problem by setting &amp;#39;resync&amp;#39; to MD_RESYNC_ACTIVE in this case,
this way resync in progress will be reported to user.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
